[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IRS mileage reimbursement rates are designed to cover wear and tear.  I think it's a judgment call whether or not to ask your employers to reimburse you, and for them whether or not to do so.

I pay the mileage reimbursement rates, and I also pay for our nanny to have her car detailed twice a year (interior and exterior).  I would probably reimburse her for something like car seat protectors if my kids were still little, and she requested it, and it wasn't much money (and they're not going under carseats).  But it's still a grey area.[/quote]

It is for wear and test on tires/mechanical not interior of cars

No ... it's for all wear and tear. Where did you ever get that idea? The rate is "based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile." That includes interior maintenance and repairs. Those would be part of the "variable" costs. For one thing, at over 50c/mile, it is clearly meant to cover everything, especially for a normal car. Probably won't cover the costs of nanny's Lamborghini, but them's the breaks.

In a nice bonus for me, while wasting time responding to this thread, I discovered on the same publication that Armed Forces members can still deduct moving expenses. So, yay![/quote]

Go spend your time more wisely, no one is forcing your hand here. [/quote]
